Steady
If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way.

Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.

Breeze Bike Rides in Southend-on-Sea

This is a gentle ride from Leigh along the Prittle Brook Greenway to Priory Park where we will stop for a drink at the cafe before returning.

Please bring a bike lock if you have one. Please bring drinks and snacks or alternatively purchase them from the cafe.

Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part. If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. Please note all children under the age of 18 Must wear a helmet.

We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind.

Don’t forget…. Breeze are on a mission to spread the word about their rides, and need your help. If you introduce one friend who goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you’ll receive a Breeze water bottle, introduce a second friend, you’ll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, and introduce a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers. Read the article on the homepage for more information.

For more information on other rides taking place please see our Facebook page Breeze network Southend.

Gwen Cook
I love riding my bike -whether to get to work, to go up to the shops, just for fun, or competing. I also love encouraging others to enjoy riding at a level that suits them. I am a 'Go-Ride' (under 16s) Coach with Essex Roads Cycling Club and also at North Street School and want to see more women riding safely and confidently in and around Leigh.

British Cycling and Sky have come together to help get even more people riding their bikes and falling in love with cycling. However you ride, we've created a whole range of ways for you to get involved - from big traffic-free events, to local guided rides; from women-only rides and support, to tips, ideas and great routes.
